Analysis.

This is coolbert:

Thanks of the Sheldon Adelson web site Israel Hayom we have this evaluation, appreciation, analysis of those existential and external threats as posed by those enemies of Israel. An evaluation, appreciation and analysis from the Israel general officer [ret.] Yaakov Amidror.

Among those threats perhaps that greatest from Hezbollah. The Lebanese paramilitary organization of which it can be said:

"Hezbollah's capabilities most closely resemble those of an army. Its arsenal numbers some 150,000 missiles and rockets, several thousand of which have a range that cover the entire State of Israel. This rare and substantial firepower apparently even exceeded the firepower possessed by most of the European states combined."

ROCKET ARTILLERY COURTESY OF IRAN! THAT SIZE OF THE HEZBOLLAH ARMED CONTINGENT NO MORE THAN A BRIGADE SIZE [5,000 men].

GREATER THAN THAT POSSESSED "BY MOST OF THE EUROPEAN STATES COMBINED"!! That population of Lebanon and that portion of the population aligned with and beholden to Iran rather small in comparison. BUT WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF LETHAL WEAPONRY AT THEIR DISPOSAL.

And even more important, an implacable hatred of Israel very long term and also an amazing ruthlessness. Hezbollah not only has such weapons, they want to use them.
